Apparatus and method for preventing undesired latch release
A latch is provided. The latch having: a claw pivotally mounted to the latch for movement between an unlatched position and a latched position; a pawl pivotally mounted to the latch for movement between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein the pawl prevents movement of the claw into the unlatched position from the latched position when the pawl is in the engaged position and wherein the claw is able to move into the unlatched position from the latched position when the pawl is in the disengaged position; a release lever pivotally mounted to the latch for movement between a first position and a second position and operatively coupled to the pawl, wherein movement of the release lever from the first position to the second position moves the pawl from the engaged position to the disengaged position; and a housing having a back plate, each of the claw, the pawl, and the release lever being rotatably mounted to the back plate, the back plate including a back plate leg configured to transform from a un-deformed position to a deformed position in response to an impact applied to the latch, wherein the back plate leg interferes with movement of the release lever from the first position to the second position when it is in the deformed position.
